Chapter 1331: Chapter 653: Searching for the Azure Sky Secret Realm

He took a deep breath and forcefully pressed the pearl against the Stone Gate.

Suddenly, the Stone Gate let out a loud noise and slowly opened inward.

A surge of intense energy gushed out from inside the gate, and both Luo Yao and Li Qingyun felt a powerful pull drawing them into it.

They passed through the Stone Gate and entered a spacious area.

In the center of this space was a gigantic stone pool, filled with golden liquid, the very Heavenly Secret Liquid they were seeking.

Luo Yao and Li Qingyun were overwhelmed with excitement. They immediately walked to the edge of the stone pool, carefully taking out the "Honghuang Pearl" and placing it into the pool.

As soon as the pearl touched the Heavenly Secret Liquid, it emitted a dazzling light, as if lighting up the entire space.

Luo Yao and Li Qingyun felt a powerful energy surge from the pearl, flowing into their bodies.

They knew this was the "Honghuang Pearl" absorbing the liquid’s strength, restoring its own power.

They stood quietly by, guarding the pearl until it had completely absorbed the Heavenly Secret Liquid’s strength, regaining its former brilliance.

Luo Yao and Li Qingyun exchanged a smile, realizing they finally found the way to restore the "Honghuang Pearl’s" power.

They reintegrated the pearl into their bodies, feeling the immense power contained within, filled with anticipation and excitement.

They understood that the road ahead would be even more challenging, but with the power of the "Honghuang Pearl," they were confident to face any challenge.

However, just as they were about to leave this mysterious space, a violent tremor erupted, as if the entire Temple Mountain was shaking.

Luo Yao and Li Qingyun immediately became vigilant, scanning their surroundings. They saw runes and patterns within the space start to glow, as if some force was awakening.

Suddenly, a massive beam of light burst from the stone pool, shooting straight up into the sky.

"What’s happening?" Li Qingyun asked in astonishment.

Luo Yao frowned tightly, sensing a strong sense of crisis welling up within him.

"We must leave here quickly!" Luo Yao said decisively.

They rushed towards the Stone Gate, but at that moment, the entire space began to collapse, with boulders and rocks crashing down from all directions.

Luo Yao and Li Qingyun desperately dodged the falling stones while searching for an escape route.

However, just as they were about to be buried by the debris, a golden light flashed from their bodies, forming a massive golden shield.

It was the power of the "Honghuang Pearl" protecting them.

Seizing the opportunity, they dashed towards the Stone Gate, but it had already started to slowly close.

Luo Yao and Li Qingyun exerted all their strength and finally managed to dash out just before the Stone Gate completely shut.

They escaped the collapsing space, but looking back, they saw that the entire Temple Mountain was enveloped by a powerful force, resembling a gigantic fireball.

"We almost couldn’t make it out," Li Qingyun said, his heart still racing with fear.

Luo Yao nodded, gazing at the distant Temple Mountain, filled with doubt and unease.

"What secret is hidden within Temple Mountain? Why did we encounter such danger?" Luo Yao pondered to himself.

Li Qingyun also fell into deep thought, knowing this experience was just a Chapter in their cultivation journey.

In the future, countless dangers are likely to follow.

After all, this is the cold and harsh reality of the Cultivation World.

Such is reality.

To become strong, some price must always be paid.

...

After the Honghuang Pearl was restored,

Luo Yao and Li Qingyun began their descent down Temple Mountain.

It was uncertain whether it was because Temple Mountain had been destroyed,

or because the commotion here was too great,

but on the way down the mountain, Luo Yao constantly felt as if a pair of eyes were fixed on his back.

"Brother Li, do you feel..."

Before Luo Yao could finish, Li Qingyun had already nodded, his brows furrowed, and his eyes vigilantly scanning the surroundings.

"Indeed, there’s a sense of being watched, but we’re already far from Temple Mountain; logically, no one should be following us anymore."

The two quickened their pace, trying to shake off this uneasy feeling.

But wherever they went, the sensation of being watched followed them like a shadow, as if an invisible pair of eyes was constantly observing them from behind.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew past, carrying an unusual scent.

Luo Yao and Li Qingyun simultaneously stopped and turned to face the direction the wind came from.

Out of the woods emerged a figure dressed entirely in black, with a stern face and sharp eyes.

"So, you’ve finally come down,"

the figure in black said coldly, his voice tinged with sarcasm and provocation.

Luo Yao and Li Qingyun exchanged glances, both seeing surprise and caution in each other’s eyes.

They had never seen this person before, yet the stranger seemed to know them well.

This led them to suspect whether there was a larger conspiracy at work.

"Who are you? Why are you watching us?"

Luo Yao asked in a deep voice, gripping his weapon tightly.

The figure in black smiled slightly and said, "Who I am doesn’t matter. What’s important is that you have obtained the Heavenly Secret Liquid and restored the power of the Honghuang Pearl.

This poses a huge threat to me."

"Threat? We have no grievances with you; why would you threaten us?"

Li Qingyun asked puzzledly.

The figure in black shook his head and said, "Perhaps you are unaware, but the power of the Heavenly Secret Liquid and the Honghuang Pearl is coveted by every cultivator in Shenmu City."
